Server Demo FAQs

Question 1

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

Accepted Answer

MCP, as demonstrated by Server Demo, is a protocol for establishing communication between a server (which hosts and registers various tools) and a client. The client can then act as a gateway, exposing these registered tools as easily accessible HTTP APIs.

Question 2

Can Server Demo handle advanced HTTP requests?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the powerful `networkTool` allows you to configure various HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, etc.), set timeouts, add custom headers, include query parameters, and handle different body types (JSON, text, form) for complex network interactions.

Question 3

What is Server Demo?

Accepted Answer

Server Demo is a project demonstrating a minimal Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation. It showcases how to expose registered tools, like advanced network utilities or weather lookups, as versatile HTTP API endpoints through a dedicated Node.js gateway client.

Question 4

What sample tools are included in Server Demo?

Accepted Answer

Server Demo includes `helloTool` for basic text output, `weatherTool` for fetching city-specific weather information, and a comprehensive `networkTool` for making advanced HTTP requests with configurable parameters.

Question 5

How do I get started with Server Demo?

Accepted Answer

To run Server Demo, ensure you have Node.js 18+ installed. First, execute `npm install` to set up dependencies. Then, start the HTTP API gateway and MCP server by running `node client.js`.
